PCIe 3.0 and other current and future high speed protocols require complex equalization schemes to open the eye at the receiver sample

  • PCIe 3.0 and other current and future high speed protocols require complex equalization schemes to open the eye at the receiver sampler
  • These equalizers (AGC, CTE, DFE, etc.) interact with each other during adaptation
  • Managing this sequence of events can be challenging
  • Correlation is even more challenging
